1 answer:

6 0

Agar is used as a solidifying agent in culture media instead of gelatin because it readily melts and it contains no nutrition for bacteria cultures.

Agar is a gelatinous material obtained from red algae and used in the preparation of culture medium.

Agar is used to solidify the culture medium for bacteria growth, although, gelatin can also be used.

However, agar is preferred as a solidifying agent in culture media instead of gelatin because it readily melts and it contains no nutrition for bacteria cultures.

An object has a velocity of 8m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 j what is the mass of the object

MariettaO [177]

Kinetic energy=Ek
Ek=(1/2)mv²
Ek=480 J
v=8 m/s
mass=?

Ek=(1/2)mv²
480 J=(1/2)m(8 m/s)²
480 J=(32 m²/s²) m
m=(480 J)/(32 m²/s²)=15 kg

answer: the mass of the object is 15 kilograms.

If the pressure on an ideal gas is increased, what will happen to the volume of the gas?

kumpel [21]

If the pressure on an ideal gas is increased, the volume of the gas will decrease. This can be predicted with the use of the ideal gas equation which is expressed as: PV = nRT. At constant temperature, we can say that pressure and volume are inversely related. Thus, as one value increase, the other decrease.
